Why do we keep the White House open, ever? Let’s just shut it down, permanently.

What is the purpose of the White House? Is it a symbol of honor, dignity, nationalism or is it some vulgar palace of vanity to an American myth? The White House is a relic that has been reduced to a sham. How do I know that? Let’s take a peak at what the current occupant, His Highness Barack and Flotus Lady Michelle have up on the whitehouse.gov website:

Barack Obama’s not just keeping elderly World War II veterans away from their memorial. He’s keeping current military forces away from their football and baseball games, too. ”Due to the government shutdown, the Defense Department can only provide limited overseas television, radio, print, and web services,” the Armed Forces Network website announced.

But rest assured there’s money to keep Camp David – the presidential retreat Obama usually disdains in favor of more expensive remote destinations, although he says he frequently shoots skeet there – up and running, according to the Washington Examiner.

Meanwhile, that World War II memorial is blocked off with even more barricades… and now they’re wired shut. Vice President Joe Biden offered personal thanks to the Park Service employee who stood her ground against the veterans. Suffer the wrath of an aroused bureaucracy, war heroes!

Shutdown Theater takes to the seas in Florida, as Obama’s troops in the National Park Service informed charter fishing boats “they are not permitted to take clients fishing in Florida Bay until the feds get back to work,” according to the Miami Herald. “That means that more than 1,100 square miles of prime fishing is off limits, between the southern tip of the mainland to the Keys, until further notice.” The ban also extends to tour guides. No paddling until Obama gets his money! Doubtless the Administration will hire as many people as it takes to enforce the “shutdown.”

Not everyone in the Park Service is comfortable with their new role as shutdown shock troops. ”It’s a cheap way to deal with the situation,’ one ranger is quoted as saying by the Washington Times. ”We’ve been told to make life as difficult for people as we can. It’s disgusting.”

Some government websites are rather… conspicuously closed. For example, if you visit the Federal Trade Commission website, everything that would normally be running more or less automatically has been blocked off behind a page that says, “Unfortunately, the Federal Trade Commission is closed due to the government shutdown.” As anyone who has tried to sign up for ObamaCare knows, a truly non-functional web site responds with an error message.

A senior Administration official pronounced the White House satisfied with its efforts to discipline the unruly populace, saying “it doesn’t really matter to us” how long the shutdown goes on, “because what matters is the end result.” That’s an interesting companion piece with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s callous dismissal of pediatric cancer patients. Who cares how long people are hurting, as long as the media makes sure they’re angry with Republicans, and the ruling class continues to enjoy its perks and privileges?

White House spokesman Jay Carney tumbled out of the Administration clown car to “utterly disavow” this remark, while House Speaker John Boehner growled, “This isn’t some damn game. The American people don’t want their government shut down, and neither do I. All we’re asking for is to sit down and have a discussion, and to reopen the government and bring fairness to the American people under Obamacare. It’s as simple as that. But it all has to begin with a simple discussion.”

The White House is openly soliciting “how has the government shutdown affected you?” stories on its blog, while good old Harry Reid mercilessly strangles every bill that would fund government services. Sounds like a game to me, and not a very good one.

Update: When Shutdown Theater came to Wisconsin, Governor Scott Walker said “no.” The federal National Park Service ordered Wisconsin officials to close several parks, including some areas that are actually owned by the state, but Walker’s administration refused. ”All state parks, trails, and other recreational properties are open and not affected by the federal government’s budget problems,” proclaimed the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.

Update: Rep. Lee Terry (R-NE) accuses President Obama of illegally furloughing two thousand civilian defense contractors at Offutt Air Force Base, a violation of the Pay Our Military Act that was duly passed and signed last week.

Funny, I thought Obama was big on obeying “the settled law of the land.” Oh, wait, silly me – he thinks you little people should have to obey those laws, not His August Majesty.

190 comments:

All the security and still a crazy new mother with a baby become the scene of the obscene. A federal shoot out while tourists mill around the grounds amidst robo-cops. It is the theater of the absurd. Convert the White House and the capitol building grounds into an American Versailles and create some jobs by moving the entire federal artifice to Detroit for 15 years and then on a fifteen year schedule move it again to the next derelict shit hole on the list.

We justify a new Olympics site on a four year schedule, let’s try a new seat of government on a 15 year cycle. Forget the pseudo Rome theme and build the true industrial business parks that it really is. Place the President in private secure grounds and cut the office and the egoist in the office down to a manageable size.

Set up a four year contract with NetJets. Get rid of the butlers, Marine guards and Colonial Disneyland.

Your ignorance of astronomy and the law is on a galactic scale. It would be illegal to suggest that a man-made event destroy the existing governmental structure at the center of the empire. Metaphor hardly snaps a synapse in your clotted cortex. A speculation on a hypothetical natural event is quite another matter.

Unlikely in the extreme. Even the 55 footer that scared the shit out of some Russians and broke their windows was a big news story. Not even the Tunguska one in 1908 smacked the ground. Even if you take city-killers to be a once-in-a-century event, the Earth is 71% water, cities aren't so jammed together on the land that's left over, and capital cities of wannabe empires even less so.

Someone is trying to destroy any rapprochement between the US and Iran

At least four people have been arrested in Iran for trying to sabotage a nuclear site, an Iranian official has been quoted by the country's media as saying.

The head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organisation, Ali Akbar Salehi, said officials had monitored and then arrested a "number of saboteurs" before they could carry out their plan.

"Four of these individuals were caught red-handed and their interrogations are ongoing," he said, according to the Mehr news agency on Sunday. He did not identify which nuclear site they were planning to damage or when those detained were arrested.

Israel, widely believed to be the region's only nuclear-armed state, sees Iran's atomic work as a military threat and has said it will attack Iran's nuclear sites if it does not end its programme. Iran says its nuclear work is purely peaceful.

Iran accuses Israel and the west of being behind the assassination of Iranian nuclear scientists and of trying to damage its programme in other ways, such as by cyber-attacks.

Iran has arrested four people for trying to sabotage a nuclear site, a senior official says.

The activities of the four had been monitored for some time, said the head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organisation, quoted by local media, said

They had been caught red-handed, Ali Akbar Salehi said.

Mr Salehi did not give names or nationalities, or identify which site was the intended target.

The announcement comes amid new hopes of resolving Iran's standoff with the West over its nuclear programme.

Just over a week ago, Iran's President Hassan Rouhani spoke to US President Barack Obama by phone in a bid to ease tension over Iran's nuclear programme.

Amir AzimiBBC PersianAyatollah Khamenei, in a speech on Saturday, gave more weight to supporting President Rouhani's diplomatic manoeuvres in New York, rather than criticising him.

The leader reassured the government of his trust in them but also hinted at disapproval over parts of Mr Rouhani's action.

The tone of the criticism was soft - he didn't condemn what happened, he just said some parts were out of place. Many observers see this as a message directed at the domestic hardliners, who oppose direct talks with US officials.

The message could be that the leader is on top of the situation and monitoring events very closely - and that there is no need for them to be worried.

They were the first talks between Iranian and US leaders in more than three decades.

Sherman responded Iran is “in many ways more dangerous than any country who has the ability to reprocess, enrich or has nuclear weapons or seeks to get nuclear weapons.”

Who is Wendy and where did she get her expertise on nuclear weaponry development?

Let’s take a peek:

Wendy Ruth Sherman (born 1949) is a United States diplomat, government official, non-profit manager, and adviser to politicians and business. She currently serves as Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs, the third highest ranking position in the U.S. Department of State. During the Clinton Administration, she served as Counselor of the United States Department of State and Special Advisor to the President and Secretary of State and North Korea Policy Coordinator…

…Sherman attended Smith College from 1967 to 1969, and received her degree from Boston University in 1971. In 1976, she earned a Master’s degree in Social Work, Phi Kappa Phi from the University of Maryland…

…Early in her career, Sherman worked in a variety of positions in both government and non-profit organizations: chief of staff for three years for then Congresswoman Barbara Mikulski, campaign manager for Mikulski's first successful Senate campaign, Special Secretary for Children and Youth in Maryland (a cabinet-level position), Director of Maryland's Office of Child Welfare, supervising protective services, foster care, adoptions, and group homes.Sherman directed Campaign '88 for the Democratic National Committee, where she oversaw field and political operations, communications, Congressional relations, constituency operations, issue development and coordination with all federal, state and local campaigns during the 1988 general election.From 1991 to 1993, Sherman specialized in strategic communications as a partner in the political and media consulting firm of' Doak, Shrum, Harris and Sherman. Prior to that, she directed EMILY's List, the largest financial and political resource for pro-choice Democratic women candidates. She is credited with the organization’s strategic development that led to groundbreaking numbers of candidates in 1992.

Women that crash the White House gates and pyromaniacs that set fires on the Mall

Finally, he returned to the National Mall and, just before 4:30 p.m., aimed his camera east, toward the Capitol

“That was the last stop that I had planned,” he said.

As he was shooting, a man appeared in the center of his frame, standing near Seventh Street, with his back to Soto. He poured gasoline over his body from a canister, and, before igniting the fuel with a lighter, gave the Capitol a crisp military salute.

Soto’s camera kept clicking as flames engulfed the man’s body and passersby rushed to his aid.

The Fascist Farmer and other supporters of the Government shutdown demand safety and security from fear.The president is obliging them, the only way he can.By limiting the opportunity for vandals to enter Federally controlled areas.

When Fascist Farmer Robert demands safety and security from fear, President Obama will oblige.

Desert rat, do you really equate the woman's behavior with vandalism? My impression is that her motive wasn't simply the defacement of property. By using such a misnomer you trivialize the response of law enforcement, who HAD to assume the worst, given her targeting of both the White House and the Capitol. You know better than that.

Only her actions stand in testimony.Both the immolation on the Mall and Miriams attempt to crash the gate were illegal activities.The lack of proper security, in DC may well have led to these miscreants ability to take their actions.

Vandal - One who willfully or maliciously defaces or destroys public or private property. That is the result of their actions. The destruction of public property. At the White House and on the Mall.

It was the least offensive term I could think of, to describe both the assault on the White House gate and burning the lawn on the Mall.

For over a year he has bemoaned that the US has 'botched" Libya.But when a terrorist that has been on the lam since 1999 is taken off the streets of Tripoli by US forces, Fascist Farmer does not even mention the fact.

Instead he wants Constitutional Amendments to limit the freedom of motorcycle riders to assemble and donate to the Marine Corps "Toys for Tots" program.

Shame on our Fascist Farmer Robert, he certainly is a dread pirate, wanting to steal liberty and freedom from every American.

A narcissistic sociopath is someone with a combination of narcissistic personality disorder and definitive behavioral signs of sociopathy. People with narcissism are characterized by their excessive and persistent need for others' admiration and positive reinforcement. They generally have grandiose opinions of themselves and believe they are superior to other people. Narcissists are also frequently convinced that they are above the normal responsibilities and obligations of everyday life, so they usually have significant difficulties maintaining employment or relationships as a result. The narcissistic sociopath has this type of personality along with a noticeable lack of regard for the rights of others and a tendency to regularly violate those rights.

One noted difference between a narcissistic sociopath and people with narcissism alone is that the narcissist with the sociopathy reacts strongly and sometimes even violently to negative feedback. True sociopaths generally do not respond to criticism or care what others may think of them. A narcissistic sociopath is unable to tolerate criticism and needs constant praise, as well as deference from other people. Many with this condition present themselves in the best light possible and are able to easily charm others to gain their trust.

For over a year he has bemoaned that the US has 'botched" Libya.But when a terrorist that has been on the lam since 1999 is taken off the streets of Tripoli by US forces, Fascist Farmer does not even mention the fact.

The rat rants of what a great job Obama is doing in taking out one terrorist in Tripoli yet ignores the fact that Obama's actions have helped put him and his ilk there in the first place.

When compared to the terrorists Obama has killed those he has created can be called legion.

Obama drew the terrorist out of hiding, Q.And has provide funding the government of Egypt, the US Security Partner in the region, at the same time

Both are the net" results of the action in Libya.With Libyan oil off the market, Saudi and othe Gulf state oil producers have "filled" the gap, providing them with the funds to transfer to the transitional government in Egypt.

A plan that has come together, on multiple levels, to advance the interests of the United States and her partners.

9/20/13: More than one-third of Libya’s oil production has come back on line in recent days after a striking militia opened the valves on a critical pipeline between two major western oil fields and Mediterranean port terminals outside the capital, Tripoli.

A plan that has come together, on multiple levels, to advance the interests of the United States and her partners.

Come on, rat, admit it. You got this idea form Len Horowitz over at Tetrahedron Purchasing Group. While it is kind of bizarre, you will never hold an audience. Cryptozoology is more entertaining. Try Mermaids Attacked by Great White Shark over at Animal Planet.

Italicizing the words in the "cu and Paste" is the standard that was developed to indicate that the work was from another author. Sometimes the author is even credited, by name.Often followed by a web link, but not always.This is not a college thesis environment, you know.

TeresitaSun Oct 06, 11:11:00 AM EDTLeave it to WiO to get genders mixed up again.

Didnt mix up anything.

Dont KNOW fur sure if you are a woman, other than you now claim to be. You lied for 2.5 years about being a catholic lesbian with a lady friend, about moving to your homeland. Really how do we KNOW w (or care) what your real gender is.

My joke went your head head. Not to hard seeing how far up your ass it is...

I think Deuce has made a distinction without a difference in his ongoing spat with WiO. Whether man made or by providence, the destructive impulse is the same. Both DC and the rock have become synonymous with unadulterated evil in the minds of many and their annihilation would give a sense of divine or well deserved retribution.

On several levels, I found this portrayal of the "August One" frighteningly apropos. http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/58370

1.perfect dwelling place after death: a place or condition of supreme happiness and peace where good people are believed to go after death, and, especially in Christianity, where God and the angels are believed to dwell

I do not think our Fascist Farmer Robert uses a dictionary, Q.He capitalized the word, so it wasn't the sky he was referring to, but the abode of God and the Angels.A specific place, or the "H" would have been lower case, aye.

Where is that asteroid when we need it? I mean a big honking smokin' fireball to burn the bitch down. ___Deuce

allen made no such correlation addressing the method of destruction. allen simply pointed out the underlying motive: the destruction of perceived evil icons. Since this blog does not have a cartoon function, I cannot make myself any clearer.

The method of destruction, allen, makes all the difference, i do believe.

As to Q, and his defense of our resident Farming Fascist, he may have a point.But it is a difference without distinction.

He chose to use ambiguous terminology, when the discussion was centered around celestial mechanics.As a devotee of astronomy and the Federal funding of space exploration, we would expect some clarity when the Fascist Farmer Robert speaks of Heaven, Fireballs and primordial Urges

By capitalizing them all, IMO, the Dread Farmer Robert is calling upon the Divine.Not speaking of rocks falling by happenstance from the sky above.

DeuceSun Oct 06, 06:47:00 AM EDTWhere is that asteroid when we need it? I mean a big honking smokin' fireball to burn the bitch down.

He is saying in clear terms, burn Washington DC or Congress down.

Notice how no one here scolds him of the size of the city containing civilians there are?

Notice how no one here has screeds about advocating mass murder?

When I advocated nuking the rock to SAVE lives to win a war against Islam people went off the deep end. No matter how many times I have added specifics, such as in off season, micro tact nuke, use a laser, kidnap the rock and shoot it to the sun the regular screechers here will hear nothing of it.

They exaggerate my statement, claim I want to mass murder millions of innocents. All of course bullshit.

Wishing for a tsunami to wreck havoc is exactly the same wishing to wreck havoc via a weapon. Over the former, one has no control as to the event; one does, however, have control over the rage stimulating the wish. It isn't that hard to grasp: one fellow hates DC and wishes for its annihilation via a sanitary act of G-d.

One time the prophet Jonah wanted the same thing to happen to Ninevah. YMMV was appalled at this human lust for bloodshed of innocent people and animals. He said, "And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much cattle?"

With respect to both D.C. and the rock, I assume both are merely cases of hyperbolic venting rather than wishful thinking. This dispute gives them more standing than they are worth. Only a sociopath could actually wish for either.

When you get down to parsing the differences between natural and humanly activated events with regard to this subject, IMO, the bar has once again left the tracks. Bonkers!

The actual destruction of the rock of mecca is not the thoughts of a sociopath. Islam practices the destruction of other faiths symbols all the time. It's been their modus operandi for 1300 years. From the taking over of Churches and Synagogues, to the Erasing of the Buddahs, Joseph's Tomb and more. The logical idea that "erasing" the black rock of Mecca might actually force Islam to reform is well proven And hardly a sociopath's dream. It's just understanding what the islamic enemy fears.

The over riding theme, the core of the proposal that has merit...Move the place of government from DC, and relocate on a rotating basis to areas of the United States in need of economic stimulus, may be sound.

The counties around the Federal District are now some of the richest in the nation. So the stimulative effect of the Federal government is clear and well illustrated.

The White House, Executive Office Building, the Capital building and the Supreme Court edifice could all become museums, tourist attractions of historical distinction. fitting right in with the other monuments, museums and reminders of the glory days of the Republic.

The Congress, SCOTUS and the President and his entourage could become a "Movable Feast", traveling the country, setting up shop, doing their business and then returning to their homes at the end of the legislative session, the judicial calendar or in the President's case, whenever he wants.

As Mr GW Bush so aptly illustrated, the President could do his job as effectively from Crawford, Texas as he could from Washington DC.

The Museum District of Columbia could then be returned to the legal jurisdiction of Virginia and Maryland, the people of the District would no longer be disenfranchised in the Presidential or Congressional elections.

It would be a move towards greater political representation and accountabilityit would be an economic stimulant to depressed areas of the nationIt would secure the survivability of the government in case of nuclear, biological or chemical attack

There is something really wrong with rat. He hallucinates. I've said time and again Obama's foreign policies are mostly a ripping success. Libya is disfunctional, that is success. Egypt, despite O's best efforts, with the military back in charge, that is success, Syria a ripping success, dividing up into three as it is doing......the guy is a genius, even though he hasn't a clue what he is doing.

I thought Deuce's comment was really funny, and given the background to it. This place needs some levity no matter how it comes to us.

Shit, our Fascist Farmer Robert cannot read.I have been saying that he and Obama are on the same page, are peas in a pod, brothers in expanding Federal power and authoriyt and successfully guiding the nation forward.He agrees, but thinks that the observation that while he is a staunch supporter of the President's policies, the disdain that Dread Fascist Robert exhibits towards the President, his wife, his political party, his race and his religion is a hallucination on desert rat's part.

Have we reached a point of no return in this government shutdown? Can either side back away without the risk of reaping the public's wrath? Today I see that the Speaker has decided to stand and fight. By this I hope he means, among other things, that the House will continue to attempt to pass continuing resolutions and bills, leaving it to the Senate and White House to kill. If Mr. Boehner would do this on a daily basis, making it a big production, things would start getting uncomfortable for the Dems.

Another US foreign policy success ...With not a shot fired by US troopsNor a shot fired at US troops

Destruction of Syria's Chemical Weapons Begins

A team of international inspectors has begun the huge task of destroying Syria's stockpile of chemical weapons and the facilities used to make them.

Authorities said Sunday is the first day of the dismantling process, but gave no details where the inspectors went after they left their Damascus hotel.

The team consists of experts from the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons in The Hague and United Nations personnel assisting them. They arrived in Damascus last week.

The mission, agreed to by Washington and Moscow after an August chemical weapons attack in Damascus prompted U.S. threats of air strikes against the Syrian government, is expected to continue until at least mid-2014.

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said last month that he would comply with the operation.

Developed during the 1980s and 1990s, Syria's chemical arsenal is believed to contain mustard gas and the nerve agents sarin, VX and tabun.

Also Sunday, U.N.-Arab League peace envoy Lakhdar Brahimi urged Syria's warring parties to hold talks "without preconditions" and said he hopes negotiations could take place in Geneva in late November.

While the internal security apparatus of the state has failed US, againThe government CANNOT keep you safeYou should never believe that liberty could possibly be successfully exchanged for safety.

"Despite numerous checkpoints and gate agents, officials at Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport say a 9-year-old was somehow able to sneak through security and onto a Delta flight headed to Las Vegas."

That's the report from Minneapolis-St. Paul TV station KARE 11, which says the "security mishap" came Thursday when the boy sneaked into the airport and onto Delta Flight 1651 to Las Vegas.

Desert Rat, Mr. Obama is not black. He is a mulatto with an affinity for blackness and the teaching of Karl Marx.

Interestingly, a poll reported yesterday found that about 40% of Obama boosters did not know his party affiliation. I would stand in disbelief if I did not know that the majority of college students know neither the Vice-President nor Chief Justice.

To each his sufferings: all are men, Condemned alike to groan; The tender for another's pain, The unfeeling for his own.95 Yet ah! why should they know their fate?96 Since sorrow never comes too late, And happiness too swiftly flies.

rat is clinically insane.

I've been railing against Obama for six straight years.

The ONE thing I've credited him with is taking the wolves off the Endangered Species List.

"... If the ideas, interpretations of experiences, and the sources are all wrong, can a conclusion based on all these wrong premises be sound? The answer is no. Two false premises do not make a sound conclusion even if the argument follows the formula. Three, four, five, or six false premises do not all combine to make a conclusion sound...Just because an argument fits the formula, it does not necessarily make the conclusion sound. Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel knew this when he designed his dialectic...Hegel is an imperialist con artist who established the principles of dialectical "no-reason." Hegel's dialectic has allowed globalists to lead simple, capable, freeborn men and women back into the superstitious, racist and unreasonable age of imperial global dominance... "

"People are living in a snarled-up subset of Marx's thinking, and do not know it. They twist logic to get to conclusions that will suit the current prejudices. They garnish it with a little Christianity or mysticism or whatever, though these play no important part in their world outlook."___Raapana and Friedrich (2005)

"...the State 'has the supreme right against the individual, whose supreme duty is to be a member of the State... for the right of the world spirit is above all special privileges.'"___Hegel

"Hegel believes that human self-consciousness has developed through history – i.e., the completion of God or the whole takes time. Further, Hegel holds that certain races or peoples have developed farther than others, and the one that has developed the greatest capacity for self-consciousness (and all that this implies: science, philosophy, art, religion) is what he calls “the Germanic peoples.” He gives every indication that he believes that this is due to innate differences between human groups...Negroes are to be regarded as a race of children who remain immersed in their state of uninterested naïveté...Among the Negroes moral sentiments are quite weak, or more strictly speaking, non-existent...He writes of the Negroid race that “their mentality is quite dormant, remaining sunk within itself and making no progress, and thus corresponding to the compact, undifferentiated mass of the African continent. And elsewhere he asserts that their condition “is capable of no development or culture, and as we see them at this day, such have they always been..."___Nationalism & Racialism in German Philosophy:Fichte, Hegel, & the Romantics (2012). Hawthorne

Hegel's dialectic has allowed globalists to lead simple, capable, freeborn men and women back into the superstitious, racist and unreasonable age of imperial global dominance... "

Then, allen I found this, which not so profound, but more of a tactical description of the HD

Hegelians are taught to use any stupid argument at their disposal that enrages their assigned opposite "side," their job is to fuel established conflicts and say anything they want, as long as it keeps the masses distracted.

The more outrageous their behaviors, the more outrageous the response is from their gullible public followers. This is why hateful slurs, mocking, sneering, racial insults, un-humorous "jokes," accusations, slander and Godlike condemnations are such a big part of their repertoire.

Marxism has relied on gibberish from the get go. The NAZI were great advocates of Hegel, given his fondness for the "superiority" of Germanic racial superiority.

Mao was only partially correct: it is not power which comes from the barrel of a gun; it is the absolute power of socialism in the forms of Marxism and national socialism which get and maintain power through the barrel of a gun.

LAKEWOOD, Wash. - A Joint Base Lewis-McChord soldier was stabbed to death in a parking lot at the 12500 block of Pacific Highway Southwest around 2:30 a.m., officials say.

20-year-old Tevin Geike was walking with two other white soldiers along Pacific Highway SW when a group of black men drove by and shouted a racial comment toward the soldiers, the Lakewood Police Department said.

"One of the soldiers yelled back something about the suspects treating combat soldiers with disrespect," Lt. Chris Lawler said.

The car turned around and the men confronted the soldiers, according to reports. As the verbal confrontation ensued, the driver of the vehicle realized the men were actually combat veterans and called his friends off. While the men headed back to their vehicle, one of the suspects appeared to have bumped into Geike, witnesses say.

The soldiers saw Geike fall to the ground as the car sped away. He was bleeding profusely from stab wounds and died at the scene.

"We came down here, and he was already dead in my brother's arms," said Glenn Zimmerman, a friend of Geike.

Friends say there was a party at the Biltmore Motel that evening, and Geike was gathering with family and friends after being discharged from the military. Zimmerman said Geike's contract was up, and he was celebrating serving his country.

"I don't understand how someone can do this - that man, he almost gave his life for people to enjoy the freedoms they have and he was just stabbed for no (expletive) reason," he continued.

The initial remark that started the encounter seemed derogatory in nature, said Lakewood police Lt. Chris Lawler. He said it was too early to say that race was the motivating factor, but investigators were exploring whether the killing should be classified as a hate crime.

"We are certainly considering it, for sure," Lawler said.

Police are searching for a midnight blue BMW-type sedan or VW Jetta-type car with four doors, tinted windows and stock rims, and low profile tires.

All five suspects are black men in their 20s, police say. The main suspect is believed to be in his early 20s, about 6'1", medium build, and was wearing a blue zip-up hoodie. The driver was described as having short cropped hair, and wearing a blue and white horizontal striped shirt.

Detectives were in the area Saturday looking for businesses or others who might have video from around the time of the stabbing. Lawler said the person who stabbed the soldier should come forward and show remorse now.

"He's going to get caught," Lawler said. "Nobody's going to give up until we catch up."

True enough. Hate crimes carry a stiffer punishment though, as I'm sure you're aware of.The hate came out of the comments from the vehicle to kick off a confrontation of races.After that is a lawyers playgound.

While the men headed back to their vehicle, one of the suspects appeared to have bumped into Geike, witnesses say.The soldiers saw Geike fall to the ground as the car sped away. He was bleeding profusely from stab wounds and died at the scene.

While Anonymous reports there was a conversation, not reported in the editorial content of ..."Bleed, cracker" But not reported by the witnesses to the crime.Anonymous made it up, whole clothe.

That in and of itself,could be classified as a "HATE CRIME" by a vengeful prosecutor.Be careful what you wish for, dimwit.

The plaintiffs allege that the 2009 Hate Crimes Act was clearly intended to intimidate Christians and their religious leaders into remaining silent concerning their religious belief that homosexual conduct is sinful.

“This statute is all about elevating certain persons (homosexuals) to a protected class under federal law based on nothing more than their choice to have sex with persons of the same gender, while marginalizing strong religious opposition to this immoral choice,” states the opening brief, filed by the Thomas More Center with the Sixth Circuit.

“Under the guise of enforcing ‘niceness’ and promoting ‘tolerance,’ homosexual advocacy groups have mobilized their financial power to purchase political clout which they now use to shut down any criticism of their deviant lifestyle,” said Richard Thompson, President and Chief Counsel of TMLC. “The truth is they are one of the most intolerant groups in our society and viciously attack anyone who opposes their point of view.”

The federal government and nearly every state have hate crime laws, passed with the noble aim of preventing crimes motivated by bias.

But a New York Times columnist questions the wisdom of such laws, used in the prosecution of Dharun Ravi, the Rutgers University student who used a webcam to spy on his roommate during a gay romantic encounter. The roommate later committed suicide, and Ravi faces up to 10 years in prison.

Columnist Bill Keller says he views the verdict as an attempt to use “handy bias statutes” to punish someone for an unexplained death.

“It’s not a great reach to say that Ravi faces up to 10 years in prison for being a jerk,” he writes.

Keller relies on reasoning laid out by former University of Illinois law dean Heidi Hurd, now a professor at the law school. She points out that the laws punish not only what people do, but also who people are. The laws ratchet up the penalties for crimes committed by people thought to have an evil disposition, the column says.

Keller sees the laws as .... “something from an Orwell dystopia. Horrific crimes deserve stern justice, but don’t we want to be careful about criminalizing a defect of character?”

Iin other words ...Just another way for government to limit Freedom and Liberty in the name of "Safety & Security"

That is what makes "Hate Crimes" so ambiguous.If there is an insidious crime, prosecute it to the fullest extent possible....... but to prosecute "Thought" puts US on a slippery slope to prosecutorial tyranny.

Hegel was NOT an anti-Semite. To the contrary, he staunchly supported Jewish emancipation and full integration into German society. His academic objective was the creation of a new philosophy to replace that of Aristotle. Unlike Marx, he was not a materialist.

Nietzsche was NOT an anti-Semite. He found the age-old survival of Jews a wonder.

The work of both men was selectively utilized to deadly nefarious ends. Nietzsche's "uber mensch" was a morally superior being, not to be confused with the "master race".

As far as Nietzsche is concerned, while he was sick his sister came to his aid.Elisabeth Forster Nietzsche, she married Bernhard Förster, who was, without doubt disfavored the Judaic.

Friedrich Nietzsche, the German philosopher, was the victim of "criminally scandalous" manipulation by his anti-Semitic sister who condemned him to being considered a forerunner to the Nazis, a new book has claimed.

Elizabeth Förster-Nietzsche, who went on to become a prominent supporter of Adolf Hitler, systematically falsified her brother's works and letters, according to the Nietzsche Encyclopedia.

Christian Niemeyer, the publisher, said he wanted to clear the revered thinker's reputation by showing the "criminally scandalous" forgeries by his sister had tainted his reputation ever since.

"Förster-Nietzsche did everything she could – such as telling stories about Nietzsche, writing false letters in the name of her brother, and so on – to make it seem that Nietzsche had been a right-wing thinker like herself," he told The Daily Telegraph.

"It was she who created the most destructive myth of all: Nietzsche as the godfather of fascism."

The Nazis selectively used Nietzsche's writings to bolster their ideology and built a museum in Weimar to celebrate the philosopher, though it is unlikely Hitler himself read much, if any, of Nietzsche's work.

Elizabeth Förster-Nietzsche edited her brother's writings after his mental breakdown in 1889 and quickly began to add, remove and change passages to align his philosophy with her own beliefs and those of her virulent anti-Semite husband Bernhard Förster.

Along with her husband, she founded a Utopian "Aryan" colony in the Paraguyan jungle called Nueva Germania in 1887. It was a disaster: her husband committed suicide in 1889 and Förster-Nietzsche returned to Germany. When she died in 1935, Hitler attended her funeral.

While it has been known to Nietzsche scholars that Förster-Nietzsche meddled with her brother's work, particular after his death, the new encyclopedia – consisting of entries by about 150 scholars – shows the sheer breadth and depth of her forgeries as never before

WiO:The actual destruction of the rock of mecca is not the thoughts of a sociopath.

A fireball hot enough to vaporize the black rock, protected as it is by the Kaaba, must needs also vaporize the folks who live across the street. And that requires a sociopath to focus on a rock to the exclusion of thousands of innocent children of God.

I had reasons to use OPDEC while posting on BC and EB, and those reasons evaporated when presented by an existential threat, due to the fact that the Creator is all about the truth and I thought we'd be meeting sooner than I though. I'm sure if the sex life of random people on the internet is important to you the NSA can shoot you their dossier.

My doctor lady had gotten back from her vacation and said they had gone to Banff just across the border. Better than Glacier she said. Need a passport though. Going to get one. She said the mountains go STRAIGHT up. Mom said the same thing long. ago. I have an adopted niece now. When she gets back I've hired her as my driver :) Will be next spring though. There and to Las Vegas. She's applied to PhD programs all over the west. All she has to do now is choose. World at her feet.

Five things Bill O’Reilly gets wrong in 'Killing Jesus'Opinion by Candida Moss, Special to CNN

(CNN)--Bill O’Reilly’s "Killing Jesus: A History" is the best-selling book in the world right now. But it’s far from flawless.

The Holy Spirit may have inspired "Killing Jesus," but he didn’t fact-check it.

Here are five ways it shows:

1. Not everything Roman historians tell you is true

Of the first 80 or so pages of "Killing Jesus," only 15 are about Jesus himself. The rest is history, biography, and politics of the ancient Mediterranean. Much of this is gleaned from Roman and Jewish historians like the imperial biographer Suetonius and the Jewish general Josephus.

These are authors that O’Reilly trusts implicitly. Maybe it’s because Suetonius reads like the National Enquirer, maybe it’s because the Romans loved eagles, but whatever the reason, O’Reilly gives them too much credit.

The Romans were fantastic record-keepers but had different standards for their history writing. O’Reilly refers to the acta diurna – a sort of proto-newspaper recording political events, marriages, and divorces that was read aloud in public – as evidence for accuracy in Roman record-keeping.

But he is wrong to see these as transparent statements of fact.

They were propagandistic: the Roman orator Cicero complains that he is misrepresented in the daily reports, and the Roman governor Pliny retells a story he had heard in which a dog jumped in the river after his deceased owner. It’s a little more Buzzfeed than Wall Street Journal.

2. Paul was not a Christian

According to O’Reilly, Paul was “a former Pharisee who became a convert to Christianity.” Paul was not a Christian; he was a Jew who moved from one branch of Judaism to another.

He never uses the word Christian. It seems that the early members of the Jesus movement referred to themselves as followers of “the Way".

The word Christian wasn’t used until the end of the first century C.E. The first generation of Jesus' followers lived and died as Jews.

3. The Pharisees were not self-righteous bloviators.

The same old caricature of Pharisees as “arrogant,” “haughty,” and legalistic pervades the book. There is biblical support for this view from the Gospels, but O’Reilly and Dugard claim to be writing history and separating ”myth” from “fiction.”

For the past 30 years, scholarship on the Pharisees has shown that the Pharisees were not hyper-legalistic hypocrites. To make things worse, the authors seem to think that John the Baptist told the Pharisees either to burn or be condemned to hell (a rather peculiar reading of Luke 3:17).

The irony here is that our modern stereotypes of the Pharisees are grounded in Protestant critiques of Catholicism. Protestant Reformers saw Catholics as just like the biblical Pharisees, championing faith through works, and lumped the two groups together as legalizers and hypocrites. O’Reilly and Dugard, being Catholic, are actually stereotyping themselves.

4. Jesus was/wasn’t political

Any follower of Internet memes knows that Jesus can be made to say anything. O’Reilly has vacillated between saying (on his television show "The O’Reilly Factor") that Jesus was not political and arguing in his book that Jesus died to interrupt the revenue stream from the Temple and Rome and that "Jews everywhere long for the coming of a messiah ... [because] Rome will be defeated and their lives will be free of taxation and want."

Even though there’s no evidence for a direct financial link between the Temple and Rome, there’s no doubt that Jesus advocated for the poor. But O’Reilly needs to make up his mind. Is Jesus the man of the people seeking to liberate the oppressed from a heavy tax burden, or is he a peaceful man of God just trying to make a difference?

5. History isn’t just a word, it’s a discipline

O’Reilly acknowledges (correctly) that it’s difficult to look past the agendas of his sources and separate the myth from the history.

Historians prefer early sources and events that are documented in multiple (preferably independent) sources. O’Reilly puts all of this aside and cherry-picks episodes from whichever Gospel version he seems to prefer.

He will sometimes omit stories if they seem historically implausible, but he doesn’t do this consistently. He omits Jesus' words, from the Gospel of Luke, as he is being crucified: “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” In his CBS interview he explained that it was impossible for people to speak audibly while they were crucified. Fair enough; but then why does he include Jesus’s final words from the Gospel of John: “It is finished”? Is there something about the word “forgiveness” that sticks in the throat?

Apart from the methodological problems, the entire book is written in the style of a novel, not a history book. We hear the thoughts of Herod as he orders the execution of the male children of Bethlehem, for instance. It’s entertaining, but it’s historical fan fiction, not history.

Hebrew for Christians In our Torah portion for this week (i.e., Lekh Lekha) Abram is called ha-ivri (הָעִבְרִי) - “the Hebrew,” a term that means “one who has crossed over” (עָבַר) from another place. Rashi identifies this “other place” as Ur of the Chaldees (אוּר כַּשְׂדִים), located east of the Euphrates River, though the midrash (Genesis Rabbah) symbolically identifies it as the realm of idolatry: “The whole world ...stood on one side, but Abram crossed over to the other.” Abram separated himself from a world steeped in idolatry and polytheism by worshiping the One LORD God who is the sole Creator of all things.... Understood in this way, being “Hebrew” means being regarded as an “other,” a “stranger,” or an “outsider” to idolatrous world culture. Similarly, all those who "cross over" from the realm of death to life because of Yeshua our Savior are rightly called “Hebrews” (John 5:24).

Franz Rosenzweig (STAR OF REDEMPTION, 1930) would champion Nietzsche not on matters of belief but because Nietzsche had forever changed how philosophy would be understood, and it was the tragedy of Nietzsche’s life that his innovation would assume its place in the evolution of the conscious mind.“Since all time poets had spoken of life and their own soul. But not philosophers. And saints had always lived their life and that of their own soul. But once again, not philosophers. Yet here there arrived a man who knew his life and his soul like a poet and obeyed their voice like a saint, and yet he was a philosopher. It almost doesn’t matter today what he philosophized about…Thus man – no! not a man, an entirely specific man became a power dominating philosophy – no!, his philosophy…Philosophy had thought it could take hold of man, including man as ‘personality’, in ethics. But that was an impossible aspiration…every ethics ended by emerging again in a doctrine of the community that forms a part of being…The history of philosophy had never yet seen an atheism like that of Nietzsche. Nietzsche is the first thinker who – not negates God--but in the really proper theological use of the word: ‘refutes’ him. More precisely: he curses him. ..It is not God’s being, but God’s freedom that leads him to protect himself in this way…like the metalogical before, the metaethical repels the metaphysical and precisely through this makes it visible as divine ‘personality’, as unity—and not as one like the human personality…”

Magnificent Ronald and the Founding Fathers of al Qaeda

“These gentlemen are the moral equivalents of America’s founding fathers.” — Ronald Reagan while introducing the Mujahideen leaders to media on the White house lawns (1985). During Reagan’s 8 years in power, the CIA secretly sent billions of dollars of military aid to the mujahedeen in Afghanistan in a US-supported jihad against the Soviet Union. We repeated the insanity with ISIS against Syria.
